Teachers Spend an Average of $945 Out-of-Pocket on School Supplies, Says New Hertz Furniture Infographic

Hertz Furniture, the premier school and office furniture supplier, is putting the spotlight on the educational world by creating awareness about important issues affecting schools, teachers, and students. Its innovative infographics depict and shed light upon relevant topics such as teachers paying out of pocket to supplement classroom supplies, the competitiveness of teacher salaries, the benefits of ergonomics in the classroom, and more.

For almost 50 years, Hertz Furniture, the school furniture expert, has been providing for schools via its one-of-a-kind promotions and deals which make it possible for daycares and classrooms to be fully equipped at prices they can afford. By bringing to the forefront topics which directly impact educators and students, the new infographics campaign continues the Hertz Furniture tradition of caring for and supporting the educational community.

According to one infographic, which displays the results of an NSSEA survey, 99.5% of teachers spend their own money on school supplies and classroom materials, spending an average of $945 out-of-pocket annually. Another inforgraphic illustrates the history of school teachers’ wages, raising the questions of whether teacher salaries have kept pace with outside job opportunities and whether compensation is sufficient to attract quality instructors.
